SPRING SEAT-SUPPORT.

Specification'of Letters Patent.

Patented May 21, 1912.

Application filed March 22, 1911. Serial No. 616,115.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK JAM S BERRY, a subject of England, residing at 275 Waterloo road, London, S. E., in the county of Surrey, England, have inventeda new and useful Spring Seat-Support, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a spring seat support, as shown in the accompanying drawlngs.

Figure 1, shows side view, Fig. 2, shows back view. Fig. 3, shows the spring seat support fixed on a cycle.

The spring seat support consists .of a metal bar, bent at a suitable distance from one end toform a seat post of desired length, split for a portion of its length between this bend and its other end, the two parts thus formed rolled upon themselves to form parallel, vertical loops, with the ends of the split portion projecting out from between these loops to form a supporting bar for the seat or weight to be carried. I

attain this object, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, by splitting a metal rod A down part of its entire length. The metal rod is then heated and bent back at a. sharp angle B, as shown in Fig. 1, each of the two parts issuing from the rigid and solid end and forming the split portion C, being twisted around separately inclining inward, as at D, and E, and then brought forward in opposite direction to the first bend, and brought close together as shown at F. A hole H, bored through the two split ends, which are a continuation of the two twisted parts D and E, one inch from the extremity of these two ends, permits the parts of the bar to be fixed together if required.

K, shows extremity of solid end which permits of its center being drilled out, to reduce tot-a1 weight if required.

The seat, saddle, platform, or weight to be carried, is fixed on the two split parts as shown in Fig. 3.

G, on Fig. 3, shows the metal bar for supporting and carrying a seat,.saddle, plat-' form, or rest, and the like, for bearing'the' weight of persons or goods, and for diminishing the shock, jolting and vibration on cycles, motor vehicles, and all kinds of road, air and other conveyances and the like.

I claim:

A spring seat support, hereinbefore described, in the accompanying specification, and with reference to the drawings, consisting of a metal bar, bent at a suitable distance from one end to form a seat post'of desired length, split for a portion of its length between this bend and its other end, the two parts thus formed rolled upon themselves to form parallel, vertical loops with the ends of the split portion projecting out from between these loops to form a supporting bar for the seat or weight to be carried.
